I have been obsessed with the movie "The Martian" since it was released on DVD two months ago. I have watched it at least ten times and I am reading the book for the third time. It has always been a fantasy of mine to be completely alone somewhere for as long as I can remember and waiting for...

There I see Meandering through trees Motes, lights of dust Sparkling

I am reading this trying to to understand this myself

:(

Zenith, I am sorry that you are having to deal with new memories too.

I can't post this.

I had a bad reaction to Zoloft in 2012. I was on a low dose and had become shaky and just "not right" for a couple of days but thought I just needed to get used to it. My third dose I passed out, I barely made it to my bed. I probably should have called an ambulance but I didn't think of it and...

Sometimes I wonder about timing on some of these posts. I was thinking about this topic again and forgot that I had begun this thread so long ago. I haven't posted here for more than a year and then I see a notification because someone is also trying to figure this out too. I still haven't...

Hi Crazy Cat Lady, welcome to the forum. If you are nervous about posting and want to get the hang of the mechanics of it there is a forum called "Social". It has a lot of threads that are just fun to do. You don't have to jump into anything you don't want to. Take your time and post when you...

Thank you for all your replies and support. I was already on the website for flights and had the webpage open for a hotel and had my credit card out and messaged my brother that I was coming today. A minute later my mother called from their phone and told me not to come. She wants me to come...

My dad is in the hospital. He was diagnosed with colon cancer a couple of weeks ago and he had his surgery on Thursday. The doctors think they got all of the cancer and all the scans they did shows that it hadn't gone anywhere else. He doesn't need chemo or even have to have a bag so they...

I had this same problem 2 years ago when I first started at where I am working now. I was getting anxious and having panic attacks because of a very triggering area in the building where I worked. I had to say something because it was beginning to affect my work no matter how hard I tried to...

The fact is that we don't know all the facts that were brought out in court in front of a judge whom I assume is an intelligent person, but I could be wrong on that. We also don't know if the ambulance service was the only person named in the lawsuit. The article said they were a contributing...

I wish I knew the whole story, newspapers are notorious for sensationalizing the wrong part of the story, making sure all the facts stated are true but leaving out other important details. She was stuck in the seats for nearly an hour in excruciating pain, not just the 17 minutes. This article...

Hi Pikamusic, don't be hard on yourself. Not everyone develops PTSD after the same events. If anyone understands what you are going through it is people on this site. Please take a deep breath, you are not crazy, you are not ridiculous, You are having a hard time right now but it will pass...

I had some left over fleece from the blankets I made for my grandkids so I started making these mitts. They are all hand sewn and embroidered.

It was both, it was a man at first and then he took me to a woman. As bad as he was, she was so much worse.

Maybe I still am on some level. I was so young and had gone through something that was terrifying and everyone was just angry that I was there. First, one of the attackers and then the first "safe" person I went to. She was angry that I was there just when it was time to go home, she wouldn't...

@hoopflier I don't know if this is the same thing, there is a phrase that is part of a recurring nightmare I have, it has such a strong emotion of dread connected to it. Sometimes when I am awake, the intrusive thoughts come rushing at me and before I can stop myself I say the words, not a...

@zaniara like you, most of the flashbacks I have are either something I do remember happened or the flashback revealed a repressed memory that came back when it was over. The flashback I mentioned already I have had a couple of times and it is very intense. During the flashback I feel like I...

The flashback I was referring to was of being electrocuted, at least that is what it felt like. I remember knowing that there was pain , a lot of pain during one part of the trauma but I can't remember the pain itself. @bell I think that question you asked was right on, the flashback told me...

Does anyone else have flashbacks of an event they can't remember? I was writing something a little while ago and realized that I have. I have the memory of the flashback and remember knowing that it really happened during the flashback but I don't have the direct memory of the event. With...

@Lucycat Thanks for the clarification, the research I found said "was not" but from the posting I read here it has been beneficial for some people with therapists that were trained in its use. If the therapist isn't trained properly it can be more harmful than beneficial especially if there...

When I first began to research EMDR one of the things that came up was that it was not recommended for complex or multiple traumas. What you experienced is one of the reasons for that. It can bring a lot of buried emotions and bits and pieces of memory to the surface that our minds can than...
